The State Government is delivering new and upgraded community sports facilities across Victoria, including more change rooms, courts, sports fields, pavilions, and skate parks.
Minister for Community Sport Ros Spence last week announced 40 new projects that will benefit from the Local Sports Infrastructure Fund – giving more Victorians access to modern sports facilities.
The latest round of funding includes a $300,000 investment in East Bairnsdale will build a new play space at Hoddinott Reserve featuring new equipment and spaces for families to get active.
The Victorian Budget 2024/25 is also
investing more than $23 million to provide new and improved community sports
infrastructure and initiatives that boost
participation and inclusion in local sports clubs.
This investment includes $5 million to continue the 2024/25 Local Sports Infrastructure Fund which is part of more than $1.9 billion invested in community sport and recreation infrastructure since 2014.
These investments are backed by the Fair Access Policy Roadmap – a Labor Government initiative ensuring women and girls get equal access to community sport facilities across the state.
